You can get an aftermarket electronic tach-drive distributor for about $250+$40-$50 for a compatible coil, or you can get a new, replacement non-tach-drive distributor from an auto parts store for less than $100, and an electric tach for about $50.

It doesn't matter how original it is, if it doesn't run right. You will enjoy it more if it does run right.
